I'm getting ready to send in my conference registration (I'm SO excited!),
and I had a couple of questions.

Is the hotel within walking distance of anything? Shops or restaurants?
What do the t-shirts and bumper stickers look like?
Do you have to order them in advance, or can you just buy them there?
Would donations of toys or games be acceptable for the silent auction?
Is there a piano available for the Talent Show?

Thanks!
Marjorie

I'm excited you're coming too!

> Is the hotel within walking distance of anything? Shops or restaurants?

Yes. A lot of restaurants are *very* nearby. Fast food, local joints, all
sorts: The Basil Pot (veggie), The Hunter-Gatherer (mini-brewerie/tavern)
(great hummus platter!), Miyo's (upscale Chinese), Immaculate Comsumption
(soups/salads/sandwiches), Domino's, Wendy's, Sandy's hotdogs.

T-shirts are red with white lettering:

"The illiterates of the future will not be those who cannot read and write,
but those who cannot learn" ~Alvin Toffler, futurist

Bumper stickers from last year (still available) are two tone blue with
white:

Unschoolers Live& Learn
www.schoolsoutsupport.org

This year...mmmm we're still deciding. But we'll probably have one in red
that says:

If you DON'T WANT to read this,
Thank a teacher!

But we'll have a more *positive* one as well! <G>

> Do you have to order them in advance, or can you just buy them there?

T-shirts must be ordered in advance (that's how they're so cheap---and 100%
cotton)
Bumper stickers may be bought there.

> Would donations of toys or games be acceptable for the silent auction?


Yep. Yep. Yep!

We had one last year. But it's a different hotel. I'll check next week when
we meet with Ken. Talent show participants can register as late as noon on
Saturday.

Anything else?

There's A LOT of willpower that goes into *not* correcting another's grammar!


Just so's ya' know! <G>

I hope you don't.
It was one of those mean things said for venting, a kind of spite-fantasy,
not a wish for it to really happen.

It's true, and it makes sense *to us,* but to be negative and poke people who
will NOT get the ironic point is kinda cruel, I think, and the vast
majority of people who read the bumper sticker would not think kindly
thoughts of the people in the car.

Uplifting and happy would be more useful, I think.

What about another design and color of the same Live & Learn text, so people
can color-coordinate to their cars, and pick the script/design they like best
(OR have both and collect the whole set, to show how many years they've been?
huh? Huh?)

Thanks!

Not in South Carolina.

Kathryn has taken it on, and she is in the Boston area.

I'd LOVE to see you here THIS year, though!!!

Wasn't there a conference in the planning for New England in 2004. Someone
had taken the lead and was talking about late fall. Whcih sounds great to
me.

Cool.
Boston is probably the same distance or even a little closer for me
(in MD).
